GLOBE 2016 International Conference & Expo March 2–4, 2016 Vancouver Convention Center The GLOBEX Corporate ‘Challenge-Pitch’ Matching Today’s Industry Challenges with Real Solutions. WHAT IS IT? HOW IT WORKS For the first time, the new GLOBEX Innovation Expo will be hosting an exciting Challenge-Pitch Forum directly on the exposition floor. Business, government, industry associations, and consortia will have the opportunity to sponsor sector ‘challenges’. The Sponsors will define the performance requirements, GLOBE will assist with aligning potential solutions providers. Sponsored challenges will be woven into a sophisticated B2B software platform. Through this platform, solution providers can view the various challenges, and create a pitch independently or with partners. This takes the B2B platform beyond an introduction tool and provides an opportunity to forge concrete partnerships while enabling transactional deals. The B2B platform will be featured on the GLOBE 2016 website well in advance of GLOBEX, allowing ample time for relationship building prior to the event. “Scott and Tina Visit the Pan Pacific Vancouver” by ppacificvancouver is licensed under CC BY 2.0/Colour overlay on original. www.flickr.com/photos/panpacificvancouver/12828316703/ KEY AREAS OF FOCUS: »» Mining »» Energy »» Forestry »» Urban Infrastructure » » Transportation (marine, rail) Other sectors are welcome and encouraged to participate in the B2B platform.
